An ISV creating a software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of an existing on-premises .NET application. An enterprise creating an application for its customers. Frees the enterprise from the responsibility and expense of managing its own servers, turning capital expenses into operating expenses.

Translate diverse claims used in the various customer organizations into a consistent set that the ISV’s application could use. An enterprise can let software at its trading partners access one of its applications. Register Web service endpoints with Service Bus. An enterprise in a B2B scenario needs to allow its trading partners to adapt their business process to a service they expose.

A .NET Framework application might use the Live Framework as a data caching and synchronization service. An ISV can create a mesh-enabled Web application that lets people keep track of what their friends are doing.

22. Windows Azure provides a Windows-based computing and storage environment in the cloud. .NET Services offers cloud-based infrastructure for cloud and on-premises applications. SQL Services provides a cloud database today through SQL Data Services, with more cloud-based data services planned. Live Services provides the Live Framework, which lets application access Live Services data, synchronize data across systems, and more.
